On some people it looks good.
B - Babushka
When your hair isn't done or you've had no time to wash it - grab that scarf and you'll be pretty and neat.
C - Candles

D - Dress
Here are some basic rules: Don't ever follow the latest trend, because in a short time you will look ridiculous. Don't ever buy green, red or any other flamboyant color dress. A small wardrobe must consist of outfits that you can wear again and again. Therefore, black, navy blue and gray are your favorite colors. Don't buy separates. Don't believe the sales talk that you can have five dresses for the price of one. And don't buy cheap materials, no matter how attractive the dress looks to you. Don't say you can't afford a dress made from expensive materials. Save up for it. If you have one good suit, preferably gray (navy gets shiny), two black dresses, a black wool skirt, a couple of black and gray sweaters, you'll be well dressed most of the year until summer, when you'll wear simple cotton dresses.
Another suggestion, don't send your clothes to the cleaners all the time. Spot-clean and press them yourself. It's worth it because they last longer. And while you're saving up for that good black dress, on your next date wear a black sweater and skirt. Nothing wrong with that as long as you don't ruin the elegance of the outfit by overemphasis of the bosom.

Shoes are more important than suits or dresses. Good shoes give elegance to your entire appearance. Wear them only in colors not contrasting with your stockings, best for summer and evening shoes is blond or beige. You can wear them with every dress, even with black, so long as they are a continuation of your stocking color. Your legs look longer, when the color of your shoes don't act like a stop sign.
